Hawk DTC-30:Originally a dirt track pad, but also used for street and mild track use.& My favorite Autocross pad.Claimed temp range: 100F-1200 FClaimed optimal: 100F-800 FFriction coefficient: 0.5Rotor wear: MediumNoise: mild but consistent squeaking.Dust levels: mediumCold bite: excellentHot bite: excellentVery hot bite (800F+): decent, but nothing like what dedicated track pads can deliver.These seem to work well with manual brakes.Most likely because these were originally circle track pads.Most race cars don't have boosted brakes. Not all pads like manual brakes.The DCT30 is better than the HP+ in every way except noise.Better cold and hot bite.Better temp rangeSimilar dust and rotor wear.No weird temp characteristics like the HP+.Easier to modulate.But it tends to squeak a bit more than the HP+, but it's not a super loud sequel.I like these DCT30s, they are my current go-to Autocross pad.I even run a DCT30 in the rear of my 92 for track use.Since the rears stay around 700-800F ish and don't get as hot as the fronts.Note: This pad will NOT survive on the front of most race cars.these aren't powerful enough for 3,000lbs+ cars with 300+ horsepower.I used the DCT30 for a wet cold track day.Didn't get any brake fade, but it was 60F and wet.Rotor temps were 857FI dared NOT to go over 125mph on the straights and 110mph between turns.If it was a dry day, NO way would they survive.

I run these on my Turbo Spec Race Atom on road courses. Good initial bite and ability to modulate.

Did a Wilwood brake kit and it came with Blue pads. Ran this compound in the past with success with oem calipers so it was an easy choice.

These worked well in my new Wilwood Dynalite calipers. I've always liked Hawk's DTC line of pads.
